Downloadable version here: 2022 10 year Warranty
- Tile Depot LP imports quality first grade tiles from quality manufacturers. We guarantee that our tiles will meet or exceed the performance standards outlined in International Grading Standards ISO 13006. All our suppliers implement extensive quality control measures in order to meet high quality assurance standards.
- Any claims for tiles that have obvious defects or blemishes, or that are not supplied as the selected shade or colour, must be made before the tiles are laid. It must be understood that tiles are a natural product, and that variations in size, shade, colour, and texture are an inherent characteristic of tiles. So, if the purchaser of tiles is not satisfied with either the colour, size, shade, or texture; or if there is concern that the surface may be blemished in some way, it must be reported before the tiles are laid. Once tiles are laid, concerns or claims regarding these issues will not be entertained.
- Because specific installation details, structural design and environmental conditions are beyond the control of The Tile Depot LP, we cannot accept responsibility for the improper installation and/or care and maintenance of our products after they are installed. Tiles must be installed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and the NZ/AUS standard 3958.1. However, in the event of latent defects in the product caused by improper manufacturing The The Tile Depot LP will replace any defective product, provided The Tile Depot LP is notified in writing within a period of ten years of the installation, accompanied by proof of purchase.
- It is the customers responsibility to ensure that the goods are suitable for the purpose they are being used for and that they comply with relevant regulations and requirements.
Conditions
Condition: Users are expected to take reasonable care of tiles by installing suitable gliders on furniture, using mats at entries, and avoiding abrasive or corrosive cleaners. Tiles should only be used in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations. This guarantee does not extend to defects or excessive wearing caused by abuse, misuse, or faulty installation.
*10 year guarantee applies to any replacement tiles replaced under waranty.

Check before you lay!
PLEASE DRY LAY 3-4m2 OF MATERIAL ON THE GROUND, TAKING THE TILES FROM SEVERAL BOXES AND CHECK THAT THEY COMPLY WITH WHAT WAS ORDERED. Never assume exact size of tiles, tile sizing is nominal so a 30 x 60 floor and a 30 x 60 wall may not necessarily line up.
HOWEVER... Ceramic tiles are a natural product and some variation can be expected in shade and size. International standards define the acceptable variation and imperfections allowable in any batch.
We will NOT accept any claims for replacement, repair or reimbursement for defects, size, shade variation, incorrect delivery or any other fault once tiles have been laid. Global industry standards are strictly no claims after installation.
It is the responsibility of the tiler under management of the builder or homeowner to check tiles before laying them. If there is any concern regarding the quality, size, colour, shade variation of the batch on site the tiles MUST NOT be laid. If a defect is discovered while the tiles are being laid, work must stop immediately.
